The Stig's true identity is never revealed on the show but his name supposedly derives from presenter Jeremy Clarkson's schooldays. Officially there have been two Stigs.
The first Stig was "killed off" at the start of the third series when he was shown driving over the edge of the HMS Invincible during a stunt and landing in the sea. The identity of the first Stig was revealed to be Perry McCarthy when his book "Flat Out, Flat Broke" was published in 2003. McCarthy is a former Formula 1 driver.
The identity of the new Stig has not been officially revealed though fans of the show have speculated that the current Stig is a former or current Formula 1 driver (Damon Hill, Nigel Mansell, Jenson Button..)

That's a very good question. He is very much a mystery, and that's kind of the point of The Stig but according to Clarkson (and who are we to argue with him), 'Some say that he is named after an airport in Russia and is is scared of ducks!'.
Whoever he is The Stig is a legend!

It's probably a few different people under the single name "the stig"

Some mysteries are part of our lives for a reason; so it is with 'Stig'

ignore the damon hill bit, no one knows at all! we only know who the first one was, you can search and ask all day long, but them "accidently" revealing it on the show, is not true either!
